UPDATES & DEVELOPMENTS -- The Komodo Dev Team is still working on nSPV technology and perfecting static HTML wallets. Once finalized, this will be a huge step forward for the entire blockchain industry. It will also allow AtomicDEX to easily scale to millions of users, as marketing making nodes will be able to run superlight nSPV clients for all of the blockchains they want to provide liquidity for. -- AtomicDEX is still moving forward. Testing and development is on-going and the Komodo Dev Team is preparing to progress the AtomicDEX from its current closed beta phase to an open public beta stage, in which anyone will be able to download and start testing AtomicDEX without registering or receiving an invitation. -- The Komodo team is also working on a GUI for software that will allow traders to easily become market makers on AtomicDEX. Market makers pay no fees (except ordinary transaction fees charged by each blockchain) and they can take advantage of the liquidity multiplier feature to place numerous buy orders with the same funds. Once a single trade order is accepted by a peer, all other trade offers are automatically cancelled. This marketmaking software will ensure that AtomicDEX has ample liquidity as the app scales up. -- Komodo CSO Steve Lee sat down with Bryce and Pizzamind from the Crypto 101 podcast for a lengthy interview about how Steve found his way into the blockchain industry, the origins and vision of Komodo, and what makes Komodo a different breed of platform compared to other projects in the space.

The major motivating factors behind doing a rebrand is not just from a marketing angle. People get confused because you see, a lot of times in this industry, where a rebrand means, hey, this is a good time for me to invest, this is a good time to go in and see some price action. For us, it was a totally different motivating factor. For us, it was, at that time, people had an understanding of Komodo as a privacy coin, which we no longer were. And the other issue was that we never really had a real marketing organization. So, the rebrand itself, I don't want people to misunderstand and think that this is only a new logo, some new graphics, and a new visual identity. It's much more than that." -- Komodo CSO Steve Lee Listen to the full Crypto 101 podcast with Komodo CSO Steve Lee here.
